Speaking at the summit, Massey shared an anecdote about his tweet on retirement and how the idea of PM Modi watching his film made him nervous. “I realized I need to better myself as an actor, which is why I felt a break was needed,” he explained. 

“On the night of Dec 2, I had tweeted about it (retirement). At that moment, I realized that PM Modi would be watching my film. I got nervous, and I was unable to sleep the whole night because the country's biggest superstar would be watching my film. I realized that I have to better myself as an actor so I felt a break was needed,” said Vikrant Massey at the Republic Media Network's Sangam Summit.
